Reborn to bury love, I can reach for the stars.

With heavy dark circles under her eyes, Shi Wanmeng went to the company early the next morning.

Last night I tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, thinking about what to do next. Then I made up my mind that since I've been given a second chance, I shouldn't struggle so hard anymore. It's only stupid not to take the shortcut.

Hong Jie hadn't arrived at the company yet. Sitting in her office, holding the hot water poured by her assistant, Shi Wanmeng was slightly lost in thought.

In her past life, it was Sister Hong who brought her into the entertainment industry. Sister Hong did many things, both good and bad, to help her become famous in the entertainment circle, causing her to drift further and further away from the person she envisioned. She couldn't tell whether she was grateful or resentful towards Sister Hong.

In this world of fame and fortune, she couldn't be herself, nor did she become the pop star they imagined. The scoundrel ran away, and Sister Hong also abandoned her and left.

This time, let's just not start.

Lost in thought, the office door was pushed open, and Sister Hong came in carrying her bag. Even though a day had passed, her displeasure was still evident on her face.

Hong Jie casually tossed her bag onto the sofa, nodded slightly, and said, "Tell me, what happened to you?"

“I really wasn’t feeling well yesterday and couldn’t go. Rather than wasting the opportunity, let Sister Xiao Qi go instead. She’s a good person.”

Shi Wanmeng paused for a moment and said, "I'll look for other opportunities."

Hearing this, Sister Hong took a deep breath: "Do you think these opportunities are like cabbages on the ground, everywhere you look? If you miss such a good opportunity, it might be very difficult to get one later. Do you think the entertainment industry is your private property? I really can't stand you anymore. What are you thinking? Don't be naive. If you keep acting like this, I can't take you anymore."

After a moment of silence, Shi Wanmeng whispered, "Then let's change it."

"What?" Sister Hong didn't understand for a moment.

“I said, if you can’t bring it, then let’s exchange it. I won’t keep you from going any further, Sister Hong.”

"Fine, fine, you think you're all grown up now? Let me tell you, Shi Wanmeng, all the best resources in this company are with me. Without me, who do you think you can climb under?"

Sister Hong couldn't believe it.

"Uh, it's like this, these past couple of days I've suddenly had some new thoughts about life. I feel that people need to step out of their comfort zones, to dare to challenge the unknown aspects of themselves, to..."

"Shut up, I think you've lost your mind. Fine, we'll go to the artist management department right away to complete the procedures and transfer your relationship. You can go wherever you want, I won't keep you from contemplating life!"

Sister Hong seemed to have given up on managing her expression; her face was full of anger as she grabbed Shi Wanmeng and tried to walk her out.

"Sister Hong, Sister Hong, slow down, don't get agitated."

"I'm not upset. Let's leave it at that. Don't say anything. Let's part ways amicably."

The two walked silently to the management department, and Sister Hong said to the person in charge of artist management, "You help us with the procedures, I'm not taking her with me anymore."

"???" Liu, the arts manager, was completely bewildered: "What's going on? Everything was fine just a couple of days ago?"

"I don't have time to keep this artist company while she contemplates life. Whoever is free can keep her company," Sister Hong said impatiently.

"Huh?" Brother Liu was even more confused. What was going on?

"Brother Liu," Shi Wanmeng said softly, "Let's do as Sister Hong said. Could you please help me see who's available?"

"Okay, I really don't understand you guys. Here, this is the list from the talent agency department. Take a look and see if there's anyone suitable."

"Then you handle the handover procedures, I'm off to get busy."

Hongjie glanced at Shi Wanmeng, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Shi Wanmeng pretended not to see Hong Jie's gaze, and slowly flipped through the list of agents. Although it was called a list, everyone had their own main artists to be responsible for, so there was really no room for choice.

When she turned to the last page, she saw a somewhat familiar name: Chi Yun.

She remembered this person. In her previous life, he had only been in the industry for two years when he nurtured a supernova in the music scene. Unfortunately, he only became famous for two years before marrying a wealthy businessman and retiring from the industry.

After a three-year hiatus, he and his artist won Best Supporting Actress at a fairly prestigious international film festival with a low-budget film, and from then on, their careers soared in the entertainment industry.

Right now, he's still a relatively unknown newcomer to the industry, and he doesn't even have his own exclusive artists.

"Can I have him?" Shi Wanmeng asked, pointing to Chi Yun's photo.

“Him?” Brother Liu hesitated a bit. “Look at the others. He’s only been with the company for a little over six months. He’s a newbie and doesn’t have many resources. Why don’t you pick a better one and I’ll ask around for you?”

"Thanks, Brother Liu. I'm pretty much a newbie, and I don't have anything that can impress the other big agents. Let's go with him; it'll be good for us to work hard together."

"Okay, I'll contact him for you and see if he's at the company."

A short while later, Chi Yun arrived at the office, looked Shi Wanmeng up and down for a moment, and said, "Brother Liu said you wanted me to bring her?"

"Hmm, is that alright with you?"

“I don’t have any readily available resources. I heard that the resources Sister Hong recommended to you before were quite good.”

"Yes, yes, I know. I'm ready to improve myself and start over. I believe that if we work together, we'll definitely make a name for ourselves in the entertainment industry!"

Shi Wanmeng looked into Chi Yun's eyes and said earnestly.

"..." I'm so grateful that you think so highly of me.

"Alright, then it'll be a pleasure doing business with you," Chi Yun said expressionlessly.

"It's a pleasure to work with you!" Shi Wanmeng shook his hand with a big smile.

In an instant, Chi Yun felt like he had boarded a pirate ship.

The next day, Shi Wanmeng brought her assistant Xiao hope to Chi Yun's office, and the new team officially held its first meeting.

Chi Yun handed Shi Wanmeng the materials he had compiled overnight, saying, "This is a summary of your previous work and my plans for the future. Take a look. I don't have any music resources at the moment, so we need to find a breakthrough."

Shi Wanmeng carefully reviewed the documents in her hand, and it was clear that Chi Yun was preparing and planning very diligently.

She thought for a moment and said, "We don't have to limit ourselves to music. Since I said I wanted to start over, there are endless possibilities for us."

What? Was that just a polite remark? Was she serious? Chi Yun suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Can you get in touch with this program?"

Following her fingertip, Chi Yun looked over.

The large-scale reality dating observation show, "Love Code"

"You're interested in this?" Chi Yun hesitated slightly. "You've only been in the industry for a short time, and your popularity is just starting to rise. It's not appropriate for a female celebrity in her early twenties to go on a dating show, is it? It doesn't fit your image either."

"What's wrong with that? These dating shows are missing out on young and beautiful female celebrities like me."

Shi Wanmeng laughed and said, "By the time people reach middle age, the audience probably won't want to watch anymore. Who would still be shipping twilight romances?"

"But this show is a new program this year. I heard that the sponsorship was not very good before, and the industry is not optimistic about it. It may flop."

"How could it flop?" Shi Wanmeng thought. "This show is going to be a huge hit! The guests include future movie stars and TV queens."

This show is full of sweet moments and dramatic conflicts that are always fresh and exciting, and I have a large number of loyal fans, including myself.

"It's okay, maybe it will suit the audience's taste. Anyway, we don't have any other resources, so let's give it a try."

"Okay, I'll contact the production team."
